Was Antonio Cromartie Really a Gamble the Jets Should Have Taken? Cromartie has shown he can be a good corner back when he picked off a league high 10 passes in 2007, he also should play better in a defense that can put pressure on the QB.
Brandon Marshall a Seahawk? Brandon Marshall is scheduled to visit the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. The Broncos only tagged him with a first round pick and the Seahawks have two in this years draft. This is a fantastic move for the Seahawks especially because Jim Bates his old offensive coordinator is the man running the offense in Seattle.

Heyward the Next Griffey…I Think Not Jason Heyward of the Atlanta Braves has a bright future.
The 20-year-old outfielder has the body and the talent to be great in this league. People have already compared this kid to the original kid: Ken Griffey Jr. But isn’t this comparison coming a little too soon?
2010 MLB Preview—Shortstops Not too long ago the shortstop position in baseball included some elite players.

Don’t Compare Steve Alford To Bob Knight Steve Alford played for Bob Knight in Indiana from 1983-1987 but that doesn’t mean he has the same antics.

Scott said it made sense to have a decision [...]
This is a stupid trend! Eastern Washington decided to follow the trend that was started by Boise State, the color Turf craze. Boise State has the “Smurf Turf” and now Eastern Washington has decided to make a field of red.
Tim Tebow less then stellar For some strange reason I want Tim Tebow to succeed in the NFL. I think I am in the minority here and now he decides he is going to struggle with rudimentary football tasks: taking a snap from center, dropping back to pass, and recognizing defenses.

Canada’s Love of Hockey Shown Through Water Usage They have done this same test in the US during the Super Bowl and it still knocks me back at how we as humans love our competition.
